Changes to all 65 Non-Meta Survivor Perks
This will be a list of changes for every non-meta perk. The idea is to tweak/buff or rework every perk that is considered too weak, or not worth running at all under any circumstances. The changes may be considered for some perks to be too strong or might be a change that isn’t necessary. However this is just to put ideas out there to see what others might think or may be able to bring some valuable input. It’s also just for fun and to see what the game could be like if every perk was meta/good enough to use in every game or with the right killer/survivor.
Some notes before we begin: There will be no lore descriptions when describing perks, but I will make it look as official as possible. I will only be putting the values of tier 3 perks, since tier 1 and 2 should never matter. I will be going down the list of perks in alphabetical order rather than go based off of killer/survivor order.
Survivor Perks:
Ace in the Hole -
When retrieving an Item from a Chest, there is a chance an Add-on will be attached to it. 100% change for an Add-on of Very Rare Rarity or lower. 50% chance for a second Add-on of Uncommon Rarity or lower. Ace in the Hole allows you to keep your Items and any Add-ons your Item has equipped upon completing 4 Generators.
Aftercare -
You see the Aura of any Survivor that you have rescued from a Hook. They also see your Aura. If the Survivor you rescued from a Hook gets Hooked again, you no longer see their Aura.
Alert -
When the Killer breaks a Pallet or Breakable Wall, damages a Generator, or vaults a Window, their Aura is revealed to you for 5 seconds. Whenever you start a chase with the Killer, their Aura is revealed to you for 3 seconds.
Any Means Necessary -
Press and hold the Secondary Action button for 3 seconds while standing beside a dropped Pallet to reset it to its upright position. See the Aura of any Pallet you have reset. Any Means Necessary has a cool-down of 40 seconds. If the Pallet you reset gets broken by the Killer, Any Means Necessary reactivates immediately.
Autodidact -
You start the Trial with a -25% Progression penalty for Skill Checks to heal Survivors. For every successful Skill Check completed while healing a Survivor, you receive a Token for a maximum of 5 Tokens. Each token grants you a +15% bonus Progression for a successful Skill Check while healing Survivors. Upon reaching 5 Tokens, gain a 15% increased chance for Healing Skill Check Trigger odds. Great Skill Checks cannot be performed while using Autodidact. Autodidact is not active when using a Med-Kit to heal.
Babysitter -
When you unhook a Survivor, the rescued Survivor will leave neither Scratch Marks nor Pools of Blood until you are Damaged by any means or until they are fully Healed. You see the Killer’s Aura for 5 seconds, and the Killer can see your Aura for 10 seconds.
Balanced Landing - (Warning: This is just a fun idea but probably should never be considered a good one for the game)
Your Stagger duration is reduced by 75% and your grunts are muffed by 50%. (Balanced landing will no longer be an Exhaustion Perk)
Better Together -
While repairing a Generator, its Aura is revealed in blue to all other Survivors located within 32 metres. After repairing the Generator for a total of 50%, the Generator will reveal how close it is to being fully repaired based on the intensity of it’s Aura to all other Survivors. If the Killer downs a Survivor while you are repairing a Generator, you see the Auras of all other Survivors for 10 seconds.
Bite the Bullet -
When healing, you make no noise, including Grunts of Pain. Failed Healing Skill Checks do not trigger a Loud Noise notification and only apply a Regression penalty of 1%. Increases the Trigger odds of Skill Checks by 10%, and Moderately increases Great Skill Check Progression bonus.
(Another idea in place of Skill Checks is your Aura will not be revealed to the Killer while healing)
Blood Pact -
When you or the Obsession are injured, you both see each other’s Auras. After healing the Obsession or being healed by the Obsession, you both gain the Haste Status Effect, moving at an increased speed of 7% until you are no longer within 16 metres of each other. (If you are the Obsession, Blood Pact still works)
Boil Over -
While being carried by the Killer: Your Struggle Effects from Wiggling, causing the Killer to strafe sideways, are increased by 75%. The time for you to wiggle free from the Killers grasp is decreased by 5%. Killers take 10% longer to place you on a Hook. You obscure the Killer’s ability to read the Auras of all Hooks within 14 metres of your pick-up location.
Breakdown -
Each time you are unhooked or unhook yourself, the Hook breaks and the Killer’s Aura is revealed to you for 6 seconds. A hook broken by Breakdown takes 180 seconds to respawn. This effect also applies if you rescue another Survivor, but has a cool-down of 120 seconds.
Breakout -
When within 6 metres of a carried Survivor, you gain the Haste Status Effect, moving at an increased speed of 7%. You also obscure the Killer’s ability to read the Auras of all Hooks within 16 metres. The carried Survivor’s Wiggling speed is increased by 20%.
Buckle Up -
You can determine the Recovery progress of dying Survivors by the intensity of their Aura. When healing another Survivor from the Dying State to the Injured State, the recovered Survivor breaks into a sprint at 150% of their normal running speed for a maximum of 1.5 seconds. Both you and the Killer see each other’s Auras for 6 seconds. Survivors recovered from Buckle Up do not suffer from the Exhausted Status Effect.
Calm Spirit -
The chances of alerting nearby Crows are reduced by 100% and your urge to scream from pain is suppressed. The sound of your footsteps are suppressed when Injured. Heavy Breathing caused by running is reduced by 50%.

Deja Vu -
The Auras of 3 Generators in closest proximity to one another are revealed to you for 60 seconds at the start of the Trial. Each time a generator is completed, the same Auras of the Generators are revealed to all Survivors for 30 seconds. When 3 Generators have been completed, the Generator furthest from the 3 Generators revealed by Deja Vu will be blocked for 30 seconds. If you are holding a Map, Generators revealed by Deja Vu are automatically added to it, and can be seen by all Survivors when using the Map.
Detective’s Hunch -
Each time a Generator is completed, the Auras of any Generators, Chests, and Totems within 64 metres are revealed to you for 10 seconds. Additionally the Auras of all Survivors are revealed to you for 5 seconds. If another Survivor completes a Generator while you are currently Repairing a Generator, gain a 10% Repair Speed bonus for 5 seconds.
Distortion -
You start the Trial with 3 Tokens.

Flip-Flop -
While in the Dying State, see the Auras of any nearby Hooks within a range of 32 metres. 50% of your Recovery progression is converted into Wiggling progression, up to a maximum of 50% once you are picked up by the Killer. Any Wiggling progression earned from Flip-Flop after being hooked will be converted into additional maximum time spent Dying on a Hook, up to a maximum time of 20 seconds per hook.
